This is a season of tearing down, restructuring and rebuilding. The unfortunate part about this time is that many of us do not feel as though we are apart of this process. Meaning we are looking at everything around us being torn down and restructured to be built back up. We think we are exempt and that we are okay because God has done all that He needs to in us because we have made it.
I realized that I am in the middle of a God ordained overhaul.
Every time there is an elevation or shift, a spiritual overhaul is needed. We cannot operate in a lower capacity when we have been elevated into a new dimension within the spiritual realm. Correction is needed and that correction takes places in a number of ways: our hearts, our mind, our spirit, and our physical.
The meaning of overhaul is to be new; to rebuild.
I have been fighting personally against this process. I want the elevation but I do not want to go through the process of the elevation. I hate the stripping and tearing down. Everything within me despises this process because it is painful and at times I feel like a reject and a fool. But it is necessary!!!
The truth is my heart has been ravished in this season. Many have come in the name of Jesus, but their hearts were far from Him. I have beaten down by family, business partners, and so on. I am exhausted and I just want peace and to be where I desire to be. Did you read that…I want??? That is where He is correcting me. It is not about I, but it is about His plan for my life and it requires something greater than I have ever imagined.
We find ourselves in troubled waters when we seek for acceptance from man. Especially those of us with a prophetic gifting, we want so badly to have friends and to be accepted, but that is not our life. We have a friend in Jesus, but not many friends in the earth realm.
He has been opening my eyes to the games of people in my immediate sphere. People were okay with me so long as I was allowing them to drain me for my knowledge and helping them. This enabled them to steal from me and build off my knowledge. How many of you readers have experiences this? People are draining you for what they can get, all while they are killing you with their deceit of friendship.
God has been doing a complete overhaul to show me that He is the only one needed for me to accomplish the assignment He has given unto me.
Ezekiel 36:33 states, “Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.”
Everything that I allowed in to destroy me due to my disobedience, the Lord is cleansing me. This cleansing is opening up something new for me to inhabit. I am entering into a new dimension. A dimension, that I cannot take most of the people that I have been attached too. So, I have quietly removed myself so that I can receive the new.
I am sharing this with you, the reader, because you are in the same place and may not realize it. Be okay with the overhaul. There is greatness awaiting you on the other side of the pain of the overhaul. We are getting ready to see the Glory of God!!!
